A coffee maker comprising both a mill assembly for grinding coffee beans, and a brewer assembly underlying the mill assembly for receiving coffee grains filtered out therefrom and for brewing coffee with heated water poured onto the coffee grains. The mill assembly has a mill housing having its top closed by a mill cap adapted to receive the heated water from a water heater. Projecting from the mill cap, in a position just over a coffee grain filter constituting a part of the mill assembly, a water chute conducts the heated water down onto the coffee grains that have been fed from the mill assembly into the brewer assembly. The interior of the mill housing is therefore not wetted with the heated water during the brewing but can be kept dry to allow immediate resumption of grinding as desired.

In a combined coffee grinding and brewing machine including a motor-driven mill assembly having a mill housing for receiving coffee beans to be ground into grains, the mill housing having a grain filter for allowing the coffee grains to be driven out of the mill housing, a brewer assembly disposed under the grain filter of the mill assembly for receiving the coffee grains therefrom, and a water heater for heating water preparatory to delivery to the brewer assembly, the improvement comprising a mill cap closing an open top of the mill housing and adapted to temporarily receive thereon the heated water from the water heater, and a water chute extending from the mill cap toward the brewer assembly for pouring the heated water onto the coffee grains contained in the brewer assembly, whereby coffee can be brewed without wetting the interior of the mill housing with the heated water.
